Resident Evil VR mod improves RE7 and Village virtual reality

Resident Evil VR on PC is already a thing, but a new mod is on the way that almost perfects the virtual reality horror experience. The project adds six degrees of freedom (6DOF), VRIK, and motion control support to RE7 and RE Village, enhancing the experience further while using the best VR headset.

Spotted by Eurogamer, the Resident Evil VR mod fills in for Capcom's lack of virtual reality support. Created by Praydog, the enhancement means you can shoot, block shots, and heal using your hands, adding an extra element of immersion to the survival horror games. The REFramework tool itself is compatible with RE 2, 3, 7, and Village, and it even works with Devil May Cry 5 and Monster Hunter Rise.

The latest Resident Evil VR mod is sure to please gaming PC virtual reality enthusiasts, but support for the play method isn't seamless. Some segments of RE 7 and Village suffer somewhat due to forced camera movements - a regular occurrence thanks to various scripted gameplay elements.

Resident Evil Village is the fastest-selling Resident Evil game

Capcom's fiscal year report for 2022 has been published, and reveals that Resident Evil Village has continued its success as the fastest-selling Resident Evil game to date. The report names this past year as the most profitable in Capcom's history, thanks in part to Resident Evil 8 shifting 6.1 million copies in its first eleven months on sale.

The latest entry in Capcom's survival horror game series, which was named Steam's best game of 2021 in a user vote, managed to top sales of 2019's Resident Evil 2 remake in its first two months. Having now sold 6.1 million copies since its release in May 2021, the spooky FPS game is closing in on RE2's reported 9.3 million sales to date and predecessor Resident Evil 7: Biohazard's figure of 10.6 million.

Were it to top both of those, only Monster Hunter: World (17.8 million) would sit above it as the studio's best-selling game of all time - although it's worth noting that this statistic is for individual releases and doesn't include the combined sales totals of all the various releases and re-releases of Resident Evil 4 (over 10 mil), RE5 (over 13 mil), and RE6 (over 11 mil).
